Summaries

SENTENCED is based on the true story. The 9th Unit was the jail where the bloody military dictatorship of General Videla concentrated thousands of political prisoners, pulling apart their leaders into two Wards of Death, to kill them without trial. It was awful realise that not only the prisoners would be murdered by the army, but also their relatives. Along this film there are many more than kidnappings and deaths, the fight for the life and dignity is renewed day by day. The will, the wit and humor were weapons of the resistance, beyond the limits of the human understanding.—Anonymous
